What makes you say that? They didn’t even work out Mathurin.

Nothing suggests we’re moving up unless you’re saying we’re moving back.

The Knicks Twitter people have finally stumbled upon marjon Beauchamp’s tape and a hive is forming. We could get something good trading back to Beauchamp range and I think he’s a slept on prospect. Dude is going to outwork people nightly and play quality defense.

I have a feeling they won’t get Ivey and then turn around and offer that deal to another team to move up and it gets accepted because Ivey #4 seems to be the ideal, but trades happen everyday.

Brogdon & pick #6 for Randle and pick #11 makes sense for both teams. Its actually a bigger risk for the Knicks than the Pacers, but the Knicks should want Randle gone. I also could see this team working with Jordan to help with Hayward’s contract. It’s another risk vs. upside trade, but Hayward is a good vet to bring around the youths. It sounds like Jordan is reluctant to spend to keep Miles and the Knicks could give him cap relief and character veteran depth.

Just saw an article on Reddit that the kings are very high on Murray and even invited him to have dinner with Fox and Sabonis.

Pacers shoot this down easily.

Pacers are one of those teams who simply don't believe they'll ever draft high that often so when they do, might as well pick.

The new rumor has New York trading up to 2 with the Thunder in a three-team deal that includes the Kings. I don't see how this works without more than one of RJ, Obi, IQ involved so I'm gonna assume it ain't happening.

Khalifa Diop plays for a second-tier league in Spain, has crazy athleticism, good form and solid footwork, but is super raw and unproven. Some mocks have him slipping out of the draft entirely. He's another stash candidate for me...I remember how slept on Serge Ibaka was coming out of the second-tier leagues in Spain (I was still in college and even had a Spanish pro give me a less than stellar review of Serge...But I was all in based on his athletic profile and motor). I'm not about to call Diop another Ibaka, but his whole situation reminds me of it.
